Open Plant P&ID Grid and lock settings
Placement snap is dictated by Lock Settings
Values from this drawing settings dialog are saved in user config file, not the projects pcf file,
making this a workstation setting, not a project based setting
If changed to By Comp, uses custom attributes to determine what type of settings for comp being placed.
As an example, a valve’s default comp snap is Nearest, with grid off. Probably reducer also.
In runs have
<BMF_CAD_LOCK_SETTINGS xmlns="bmf.01.07">
<AXIS_START_ANGLE>0</AXIS_START_ANGLE>
<AXIS_LOCK_ANGLE>90</AXIS_LOCK_ANGLE>
<SNAP_MODE>8</SNAP_MODE>
<SNAP_DIVISOR>1</SNAP_DIVISOR>
<GRID_LOCK>True</GRID_LOCK>
<SNAP_LOCK>True</SNAP_LOCK>
<AXIS_LOCK>False</AXIS_LOCK>
</BMF_CAD_LOCK_SETTINGS>
Note: with System values
With Nearest, it ignores grid.
With Keypoint it doesn’t ignore grid
This System part is general power platform logic.
Default for all, i.e. if not overridden is
<BMF_CAD_LOCK_SETTINGS xmlns="bmf.01.03">
<SNAP_DIVISOR>2</SNAP_DIVISOR>
<GRID_LOCK>False</GRID_LOCK>
<SNAP_LOCK>False</SNAP_LOCK>
